Can We Ever Trust the Media Again?

The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, The Associated Press, CNN, Fox News…how can we trust anything they say ever again?

All just propaganda sweat sheets. Not a word can be trusted and they prove it every day. I don’t read them, I avoid listening to them whenever possible and I can’t understand why anybody else would either. If they lie about one thing or use “weasel words” to distort the facts, then why should I trust them to even tell me the weather? Should I trust that because THIS TIME they might not be lying?

Don’t think so.

Shades of Clarence Thomas

The recent big lie about Donald Trump has all the timing and suspense of belief as the allegations against Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas when we was up before Congress for his confirmation vote back in 1991.

This was when a former long-time employee, Anita Hill, was put up by the Democrats at the last minute to claim that Mr. Thomas had sexually harassed her while she was in his employ.

It wasn't just a lie, it was an obvious lie.

Based just on the timing alone the allegation was hugely suspect and although the Political Left who backed her “claim” never took a step backward, her story fell apart on facts alone. Especially the fact that if Ms. Hill was harassed in so unwelcome a fashion, then why did she follow Mr. Thomas from the employ in one firm to another? She had no answer.

But to his credit and for a nation’s thankless task, Justice Thomas has proven to be the most consistent stalwart and defender of the U.S. Constitution as it is written. Not even the late Anthony Scalia could make such a claim.

Anita Hill went on to a lucrative career as a motivational speaker on the college circuit. A gift from her Leftist benefactors for a job well done if not entirely successful.

Such is the world we live in.

The “Conservative Press” is No Better

These supposedly Right Wing talk shows, Rush Limbaugh included but also Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and our local talker Howie Carr all make their bones on trumpeting their “outrage” at what the New York Times and the Boston Globe etc write. I don’t need to hear it from them. I don’t buy or read them so why do I need these guys to tell me what the hell they said? If I wanted to know, I’d read it myself.

But the real reason they do this is because THEY’D HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT 

otherwise. It’s like the Left Wing and Right Wing press feed off each other. They need each other for their livelihood. They, like the present group of Republocrats and Demlicans, are two sides of the same coin.

And WE are all paying for it.

Human Nature to Believe

I love it when a colleague tells me about some outrageous thing that they heard on a television news show about, well, anybody of prominence or of a situation overseas. I just ask, “Are you stupid? Why would you believe that?”

This is why I have no friends at work.

There are people that I know who tell me what a pack of lies they’ve heard on the news about something and then come running to me about Donald Trump. Why on Earth would you not believe everything else except this?

With what is going on today why would anyone believe a word about what's going on in Syria, Yemen, Russia, the EU or our own presidential election. And a bigger question would be why are they buying these publications or supporting them with the cable subscriptions? 

Make the Slaves Love Their Slavery

This is why freedom never seems to win in public opinion polls. I don’t know what it is, do people not trust themselves? Don’t they want to be free to pursue what makes them happy? Wouldn’t they want to have a healthcare plan they can take with them and can afford free of government and employer mandates? A plan for their individual needs and not paying for everyone else’s?

Wouldn’t people want to have more of their own money that they earn in THEIR OWN pockets so that THEY can choose how to spend it and what businesses to support instead of having it yanked from their paychecks and used for businesses the government chooses instead?

Will people vote for a chance to be rid of excess regulations, a big and intervening government, a press that is so BENT that they take it as a personal task to collude and destroy anybody who has a alternate plan (that means you too Bernie Sanders!)?

We’re going to find out but the one thing I do know is...

The idea of a free press is DEAD.

Milquetoast Ryan Abandons Party Conservatives

I guess Mr. Ryan, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, thinks this presidential election is all about himself. Perhaps he thinks himself alone in his feelings. Or perhaps he is just favors someone else entirely.

So today Paul Ryan is appalled. Yes that's right, he's appalled by what he has heard. He just can't believe his ears! He was most upset and saddened by the news that...

Donald Trump apparently likes Pussy.

Ultimately, Mr. Ryan didn't take this news well and now he has announced, to the glee of the Political Left, that he just can't bring himself to support Donald Trump, his party's Presidential Nominee and will now only focus on not letting Hillary Clinton take the Presidential Throne with a Democratic Congressional Majority.

As if she'll even need one at that point.

Paul Ryan, in exercising his self-elected brand of voter nullification, has forgotten the stakes of this election. He has overlooked or perhaps he just can't see from his high perch that the economy is turning to shit. That good full-time jobs are dwindling, that the Affordable Healthcare Act is un-affordable, that millions of people are receiving food stamps and that many American workers are living pay-check to pay-check.

Perhaps he has not pondered the Supreme Judicial Court nominee waiting to be confirmed.

Or perhaps he has a plan of his own.

If Trump should lose this election, Mr. Ryan is going to lose the majority speaker-ship within two years anyway. It won't matter a hill of beans what he does after this. The Republican party deserves to lose the majority in the House. They have done nothing to hold onto it. They've abandoned their candidate and they have abandoned their electorate. What more can they do to undermine their cause?

Actually to say they have abandoned Donald Trump is to imply that they had ever given him anything but grudging acknowledgement as the Republican Nominee.

But Donald Trump is where he is because most people voted for him. This is why we hold elections. They didn't vote for smarmy Ted, the landed and entitled Mr. Bush, the decidedly un-dynamic Mr. Walker or that idiot Kasich ,

Trump didn't buy his way to the nomination, he was endorsed by a large group of people who represent the most conservative section of the Republican Party. Even though a majority of them are registered as Independent, they vote Republican. And for decades they have waited for a real conservative candidate.

Only to now be told that Conservatism is no longer allowed in the Republican Party.

In this election cycle, Donald Trump has electrified the Conservative Voter. Across the nation more people have voted in the primaries than they did the last two election cycles. He has gotten out the vote and he will continue to get out the vote. Whether he wins or not is a big unknown at this point but Mr. Trump has mounted an unprecedented campaign.

A campaign against not only the Liberal Democratic Party but also against the Liberal Republican Party.

But a lot of hard working people, people who pay their taxes and aspire to do the right thing, are pulling for Donald Trump. They feel, rightly, that many of the ideals they believe in are what he believes in also. Ideals that they see, more and more, the Republican Party abandoning. They want somebody to stand up to the special interests and big government that does not take their opinions and their rights in regard. They feel they have lost their voice in government.

And Paul Ryan has confirmed that they have. 

U.S. Propaganda Machine Girds for War in Syria

Oh, the children!

Day after day the leftist press:CNN, The Huffington Post, New York Times, MSNBC and Fox News roll out the articles, articles you can't comment on, and pictures of the "Children of Aleppo" and the humanitarian crisis that nobody fucking cared about until the "Rebels" backed by the United States, France, Germany and England began to LOSE the war they've been waging with Bashir Assads Syrian government forces.

And if Doctors without Borders really gave a Goose-Stepping FART about the children of Aleppo they would be calling on the parents, the anti-government "rebels", to throw down their arms and surrender "for the children". If the insurgents would just put down their arms, the Syrians and the Russians would stop bombing them and the children would be safe.

But NO, they can't do that now can they? That would mean the civil war would be over and that Assad would re-gain control of the country again and the above named Imperial Coalition would not!

So it's obviously not about the children.

Oh, and here's a quick tip on how not to get your hospital bombed: Quit firing your U.S. supplied anti-aircraft missiles from either the hospital rooftop or the hospital grounds. We've seen this act all over the Middle East. They've been warned so it should come as no surprise. Apparently a press photo op is more important than the lives of women, children and wounded fighters.

So now everyday there is outrage in the news, the White House and the U.N. that there is war, yes, war going on in Syria and that Assad and his Russia thugs are fighting back. How dare they fight back! Didn't Obama and that cardboard cut-out of a Secretary of State, John Kerry say they wanted Assad out? Then why isn't he going? And why are the Russians coming to his aid? Oh, yeah, that's right, Russia is an Ally. They signed a contract and everything.

Now what sort of deal does the United States have with Syria? None. The United States has no legitimate alliance with any group in Syria and is too far away from the conflict to even know who is using the weapons they are indiscriminately supplying. We are only told that they are Moderate Muslims if such a thing actually exists any more. This is one of those "foreign entanglements" the framers of the U.S. Constitution always warned us about. No good has come from these affairs and no good will come from this one either. Just look at how well Libya turned out.

But any excuse will serve a Tyrant and the Obama Regime is nothing if not tyrannical when it comes to what they want. They will find some excuse to throw more U.S. troops and arms into the region and continue to intervene in the Syrian Civil War. But they have to be discrete so they have the U.N. invent a humanitarian crisis so they can use yet another force of "coalition partners" to step in.

Wars need winners. What the U.S. and its European enablers are doing is prolonging the conflict so more people die. Had the U.S. not intervened, the war would have been over two, three years ago and everybody would have gone home by now.

But no, Assad must go. Why? Because we said so!

And so more U.S. taxpayer money, money we haven't even earned yet because we're $20 Trillion dollars in debt, is being cast upon the Syrian sands because Obama said so and as a result more bodies will burn.

Until our War President, Barack Obama is finally out of office we are going to have to put up with all the impotent phoney-balonie hand wringing coming out of the government media machine.

It's all they got.

The U.S. should just pack it in. Not just in Syria but in the whole Middle East. The only sponsor of terror in the world right now that I see is the United States. We have toppled stable governments and replaced them with chaotic fanatics. We have put an unmixable populace of religious fanatics (also of our making) on the move to countries that don't understand them and can't afford to take them. We have armed groups of radicals with an axe to grind against their governments who would never have had the resources to rebel if WE didn't fund and supply them. This is straight out of the Roman Book of Conquest

Here is a paraphrased piece written by Celtic historian Graeme Talboys:

"Roman techniques for conquest were sophisticated. Trade was generally the first step, with increasingly stringent and monopolistic treaties being enforced. Some groups are picked out for favorable treatment, creating civil discontent. Training and weapons are then provided for the malcontents who would other wise have little impact on their own society. If challenged about this, any imperial power will usually either deny involvement or will talk about support for the oppressed and a desire to bring freedom and political enlightenment to barbarians who, despite their uncouth ways and and lack of the benefits of civilized society, are always painted as a threat."

Sound familiar?

 Aleppo will fall and Assad and Putin will finally win a war in the television era unless Obama does something really really stupid.

Don't count that out.

Trump Gets His Point Across

Whether you feel Donald Trump “won” his debate with Hillary Clinton Monday night or not, the one sure thing that did happen was that Mr. Trump left no doubt as to what he believes should be done to provide jobs and to bring the United States economy back from the edge of the cliff.

Instead of focusing on what Trump SHOULD have said, since we know his points already by heart, we should focus on what he DID say because he said a lot.

Donald Trump was on a roll before Lester Holt deftly stepped in to get him off of the prone body of Hillary Clinton. Had he not knocked him off his line of thought and put him on the defensive, Trump would have continued to pound Hillary on the Obama Economy and her long failure of a roll in it.

Donald Trump, speaking more to the American people out in Television Land than the debate audience, outlined his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to stimulate business growth. He railed against the excessive regulation that is not only killing existing businesses but keeping new businesses from forming.

Trump hit his points on foreign trade, jobs leaving the country, inner cities crushed by no work and high crime, and the Obama Government’s responsibility for it. He also blasted that POLITICAL HACK Janet Yellin at the Federal Reserve and let the people know just how precarious a bubble the economy is perched upon. Trump also accused Yellin of playing politics with the economy after promising to raise interest rates and then differing doing so until after the election. Trump even got in the fact that we are in the worst “recovery” period since the first Great Depression. All this he said.

It was clear even before this debate that this was going to be an election of who has the right idea of getting the economy going. There has been little left to the imagination from both candidates.

Hillary has told us again and again that she plans to tax our way to prosperity. Her plan to raise taxes on the “rich” to pay for the “work” programs to get the economy going again. The Robin Hood approach is a well-worn Democratic boiler-plate idea that has never failed to fail.

Economies do not work that way, never have. When an activity like spending is discouraged, the linchpin of the economy dries up. It was clear during the debate that Hillary has NO IDEA how business actually works or how to bring the economy back. Donald Trump is correct to say that it’s about time we had a president who knows money. He said that too during this debate.

We can go off about Hillary’s email. We can go off about her lying about it to Congress. We can go off on her use of the Clinton Foundation as a license to print money and more of her nefarious missteps and oversights, the worst being Bengazi since Ambassador Stephens saw it coming and asked for help, was ignored by Hillary’s State Department and now he and three of our best are dead. There was so much to say and so little time. We were all trying to fill in the blanks.

I know there were many people leaning in their chairs hoping for Donald to land that clean punch when Hillary said she had poise and stamina because she was interrogated by Congress for three hours. We all wanted to say “And why was that, Hillary?” And I’m sure there was many a Trump supporter yelling at the Television urging him to say more about Hillary’s email server tech, Paul Combetta, pleading 5^th Amendment protection in front of a Congressional hearing.  But what he said was enough and acknowledging that Hillary did have experience but it was all bad experience certainly got the message across.

Could he have said more about Hillary? Sure, but he only had an hour and a half.

Donald Trump said everything he needed to say. We all wish he could have said more but it wasn’t us up on that stage with the camera’s and millions of people watching. It wasn’t us in a room full of people just looking for one flaw to undermine years of hard work and the hopes of productive people across the nation.

There will be more time to get it all in. 

Blame Military Training For Killer Cops

“It’s more dangerous to be black in America. It’s both more dangerous because of crime, which is the Chicago story but it is more dangerous in that you’re substantially more likely to end up in a situation where police don’t respect you where you could easily get killed. I think sometimes for whites it’s difficult to appreciate how real that is.” – Republican Vice President hopeful, Newt Gingrich

Although not just a “Black thing” since the shooting rampage of the police forces in our nation goes beyond merely shooting black people. But when police are shooting Black people over a broken tail light, you just gotta think it's gotten beyond control.

It doesn't stop with one group of people however since the police are also shooting Whitey as well as Hispanics. In addition the police manage to indiscriminately shoot people in cross-fire situations, wounding many a passerby by irresponsibly discharging their weapons in public during shootings. You don't hear much about that either. 

This willful carnage by our nation’s police force is coming more to the forefront in the “Everybody has a Camera” age. Now we see what we’ve always suspected. Police are just shooting people down for things they have no reason to fire their weapon for. Some of the video that is going around is incredible. Police shooting fleeing women, men just getting out of their car, black people everywhere and now licensed gun owners who have done what they were supposed to and told the officer they were carrying. I have some friends on local police forces sending me videos of shootings that are unbelievable in their cold-bloodedness. A cop doesn’t feel like running after this kid so he just shoots him in the back. No law against a police officer shooting a “fleeing felon” right? And Black, White or Brown, we’re ALL potential fleeing felons and we are ALL potential targets. 

And when did failure to follow a police officer's instructions become a reason to shoot an unarmed person? It used to be a reason to hit you over the head with a flashlight but now it's the excuse all these killers with badges use to justify what they've done. "He didn't follow my instructions so I shot him." Are you fucking kidding me? We should FRY the next cop who uses this for an excuse. 

Neil Young sung in the 1970s of “Soldiers are cutting us down.” Now he can sing about the police in the new century.

And it’s not only been going on for some time but it’s increasing in its frequency and ferocity.

Many Killer Cops Skate

And most of these killers with a badge get away with it. They don’t even lose their jobs! The courts have long looked the other way in the fight for “Justice”. It doesn’t matter if they are wrong or right, they’ll bash your head in and let the courts clear them. The police are operating with impunity these days and only answer for what they do when it’s caught on video. Even then they don’t go to jail.

People are tired of seeing this and black people especially are fed up with the constant “Revolving Door of Justice” when it comes to prosecuting killer cops.

The Role of the Military

As everyone is well aware, the United States has been training and cycling soldiers through the Middle East for decades. Most of these are what they like to call “Citizen Soldiers” those in the Army Reserves or the Air National Guard. These soldiers actually have regular jobs that they work when they are not overseas killing people. Many of these reservists are police officers.

People in the military can and do receive preferential hiring when they leave military service and decide to go into law enforcement either at the local or state level. Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) also tout the numbers of ex-military people they employ. This has gone on for decades now and one thing the U.S. has a large surplus of is military veterans.

So many cops are Vets these days and many have done tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many have done more than one tour in the Middle East. Some have done three.

Soldiers are trained to kill and get it done quickly. Whether you are A SEAL, Special Forces a Marine or an Army Regular, you are taught to focus on the primary objective: Kill the Enemy. Unlike an Army Regular, a Marine is trained to overrun enemy positions and to take casualties. That’s a special and intense focus. Not everyone can be a Marine and not everyone wants to. Ditto for the SEALS.

Improved Kill Ratio

Since the World War II there have been many in depth military studies on why troops shoot too high. These studies were used to try to improve the “Kill Ratio”, the number of bullets fired vs actual hits on the enemy, of U.S. soldiers. Since the American Civil War the top U.S. military commanders have been puzzled as to why troops have always shot too high and had very low kill rates. One psychological reason is that man has a natural aversion to killing another man. Another problem is that the human body goes into a “Stress Mode” when the shooting starts that restricts a person’s ability to shoot effectively, the pulse quickens, the pupils dilate and the body is flooded with hormones. So the military command has worked diligently since then to correct these “problems” and they have succeeded in grand fashion.

New training strategies work to desensitize soldiers to the act of killing and teach them not to feel responsible for their actions. So now when these guys pop in a door and make the decision to shoot, they hit the “target” at a percentage rate never before seen in the world. U.S. soldiers are the most efficient killers on the planet. Still.

It is also believed that this resulting “improvement” in training has also lead to increases in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

These are the people we are supplying to our nations police forces. They are institutionalized, desensitized killers who have had the smell of blood in their nostrils and now they've traded the uniform of the American Armed Services for that of a City or Town police officer. 

What can possibly go wrong?

Police Officers or Soldiers?

A collaboration of sorts has been taking place between the military and local and state police departments. The local forces have acquired an incredible amount of military gear. Laser sites, gas masks, night vision googles, military style bullet proof vests and leggings, armored vehicles, acoustic riot control vehicles, high powered and automatic weapons and military style systems training. All supplied by the Federal Government.

They aren’t just cops anymore, they have become a highly trained select military tactical force right here in every neighborhood. They have all the resources taxpayer money can buy.

So just who do they answer to now?

The Drug War

The War on Drugs and its sister police-state building sister, the Patriot Act, gave law enforcement organizations across the country the power and resources it needed to build up its fighting might. The progress our nation’s police forces have made in their military capabilities is unmistakable and alarming. Over the last decade especially they have greatly grown in strength. Even though the Drug War has crashed and burned the laws and their “kick in the door” attitude remains.

The confiscatory nature of the drug laws saw local and state police raking in millions of dollars from property seizures that still continue today with little media fanfare. The police have taken cash, cares, land and homes that are then sold at auction. Assets and their proceeds the department gets to keep. The police also routinely freeze with the intent of seizing bank assets that would otherwise have served to help the “Accused” with their legal defense because any financial assets are instantly deemed “ill gotten” without having to actually prove it. But that’s ok, they were guilty anyway. Otherwise, why would the police arrest them?

What happens if you protest these actions? You could lose your property too. All that is required is an accusation.

So don’t think for a moment that law enforcement will go along with drug legalization attempts. This is their livelihood we’re talking about.

Obama Not Helping

President Obama has this uncanny knack of saying the wrong thing at exactly the right time. After all this time can anybody think this is an accident? Our racial divide although never really addressed since the 1960s has laid dormant since the late70s has now been brought roaring back by a combination of an advancing militant police force and a race-baiting president. This will benefit no one.

It is no surprise that Mr. Obama will not admit there is a widening racial divide in the U.S. under his administration. One has to wonder if Obama will succeed where Charles Manson had failed in triggering a race war in this country.

Gun Legislation Now Dead

As a good Apparatchik, Comrade Obama has come out with his expected “take guns away, the problem is solved” rhetoric.  This will not happen no matter how many sit-ins occur now in Washington. Congress isn’t going to touch it. Nobody is going to give up their guns while battle lines are being drawn in the city streets. People will only hold them closer than ever before. 

What Now?

Ending the Drug Prohibition will help. The corresponding reduction in a standing police force will help also. The corresponding saving to the beleaguered American taxpayer will boost the economy.

Cutting back the totally corrupt Welfare System will also help. Continuing to subsidize a large group of people has not worked for us. Keeping people poor and stupid has not added wealth to this nation. Learning to make your own way in the world is the most enriching thing a human being can achieve in life. It’s time everyone had that opportunity again. The Welfare system is not doing anybody any favors and continuing to tell a group of people that they can't compete on a level playing field without government help will never get them on base in the game of life. The corresponding savings in taxes can go to drug rehab programs that this nation so sorely lacks.

We should end our wasteful wars that accomplish nothing but spreading violence throughout the world and creates tons of disabled warriors that we can't seem to be able to take care of. We have created a “Chicken or the Egg” cycle of violence that only increases and has not made anyone any safer. The result has been quite the opposite actually. This will also result in a net gain for the American taxpayer.

A rising economy will lift all boats. Ours has been an embarrassing flat-line of failure with the faces of GW Bush and Barak Obama on the IOUs. Putting our money back into our pockets so that we can spend it on the right things will further the nation more than any war or welfare check. 

Doing away with these wasteful influence buying, power-grabbing programs will bring the economy back so if you want a job in this country, you should be able to find one. The failed cycle of economic bribery that has been going on since the 1960s should be brought to an end. 

Or we can become a Police State. 

Take your pick. 

Trump 2016!

President Obama Endorses Donald Trump!

What could be a bigger, more ringing endorsement of your candidate than to have the worst President to ever wear the mantle to say that he isn’t “Qualified”?

There isn’t one. Obama has told the world that Donald Trump is not fit for the presidency and he should know since he is the most unfit person to ever hold the office. Move over Jimmy Carter, move over Dwight D., stand aside Mr. Nixon, a new king has been crowned: Barack Obama.

The Anarchist-in-Chief has done everything he can to destroy the United States. He’s ordered a stop to border enforcement, allowing untold millions into the country without knowing their intent or their health. Diseases that have thought to be eradicated in the U.S. are roaring back and disruptions along the border and U.S. deaths and the hands of the invaders is continuing to rise. 

So if President Obama thinks Donald Trump isn’t the man for the job…HE’s the Man for the Job!

Just how Mr. Obama has become so delusional as to think that ANYBODY in the world would believe a word he says about anything is a wonder in itself. After all this Bastard has done to us?

The President has ravaged the U.S. economy by killing off the nation’s largest employer: Small Business, with increased regulation and taxation. Empty store fronts dot every town and city center across the country. The homeless are rampant but you won’t hear much about them unless Mr. Trump is elected president, THEN it will be the biggest problem facing our nation so will say the Government Press.

So if Obama says I shouldn’t vote for this guy, I really should vote for this guy!

Nothing President Obama has done has actually helped the United States. His Affordable Care Act has driven costs up and hospitals out of business. States are groaning under the regulation and shortages the president’s plan has brought. His backing of Green Energy companies with taxpayer dollars has left a wake of bankruptcies and blown Millions of dollars without a penny in return in a failed effort to pick winners and losers in the Marketplace.

The only private business Obama has every helped with his policies is the firearms industry. And that was unintended. 

But if we would only listen to HIM, He, Mr. Obama,  will tell us who we should vote for and it’s NOT Donald Trump. According to the President, Mr. Trump is the LEAST qualified person for the office.

On the other hand, Mr. Obama says that Hillary Clinton is the MOST qualified person for the office.

We get it. What Mr. Obama is REALLY saying subliminally is that Trump should be president or the world is going to go to shit under Hillary Clinton.

And what shit it will turn into under Hillary. All she’s got is the same banal proposals that didn’t work the last 20 times they were tried.

Hillary’s Jobs Bill vs Trump's Plan

You want a job? You won’t be getting one under Hillary Clinton’s plan. You’ll get a government check and a training program but, you know, the country is at least $19 Trillion in the hole so more government spending will not produce a single job since the money will be taxpayer money. That's all they have. The government will either have to print it or tax more for it. It is more likely, if you should have a job, that you will lose that too.  

This is the same Stimulus Plan that President Obama trotted out in 2010 to the tune of $800 Billion dollars that only went to the states public unions to prop up his voter base and didn't create a thing but more debt. 

Trump knows the way to get real jobs going is to cut taxes. More money in your pocket, you spend it, you buy things you need or want, business grows. The more of your money you get to keep, the more money YOU get to spend. The choices you make are infinitely better than the choices the Government has been making with it ie: overthrowing Libya, dropping Billions of dollars in weapons into Iraq, bribing Iranian officials,etc. This is a foreign concept to people like Obama, Sanders and Clinton.  

Ironically, this is what President Kennedy did when he took office. He cut the corporate tax rate that was restricting business under the Eisenhower administration and the economy picked up quickly afterwards and did not stumble along for 8 long, long years like they are now.

Nowadays Mr. Kennedy would be considered a Conservative Republican. But the big difference between President Kennedy and President Obama is that Kennedy actually CARED about the United States

.

And now, after all this time, you can make a better choice than Barak Obama. Mr. Obama hasn’t managed to make a good choice yet when it comes to keeping the United States safe or solvent so all you have to do is make ONE good choice and you are ahead of the man.

Mr. Obama says that Donald Trump is the WRONG guy for the job. The President says that Donald Trump is UNFIT to hold the office of the Presidency.

Mr. Obama has held the office of the Presidency for 8 of the longest years of my lifetime and for many others; people working two part-time jobs with no benefits and without the hope of getting put on full-time, people who are not going to the doctor because their out-of-pocket expenses are too high, our many uncounted unemployed and people going to work, busting their ass and then having to stand in line behind healthy people with EBT cards at the supermarket.

What does Mr. Obama have to say to these people?

“Don’t vote for Trump, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

And we know what you’re doing Mr. President.

And it's time we put an end to it. 

Trump 2016!

Obama: Trump is a Russian Spy!

That’s right; Donald Trump is working for the Russians! It’s a terrible revelation I know but the Obama regime has concrete evidence and well those people who hacked the inattentive and secretive Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails, well they were RUSSIAN!

President Obama was heard to say, “You know the FBI tells me that it’s very difficult to prove the source of a cyberattack but, since the FBI works for me, and we would never lie about something this big, we have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Russia is the source of the stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee. Yup, Trumps a spy alright. We may have Loretta Lynch issue an arrest warrant.

Heck Hugo Chavez can arrest his opposition, why can’t I? “

Obama Demands Trump Release Birth Certificate!

I have heard that President Obama wants to see Donald Trump’s birth certificate to prove that he isn’t Russian. Right now the CIA and the FBI are looking into Mr. Trump’s ancestry to see if he had any distant relatives that were either in the Russian Royal Family or better yet, the Russian Revolution.

“And where”, President Obama asked,” was Mr. Trump when Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, anybody know? He talks about Ted Cruz’s dad meeting Mr. Oswald but that was just a smoke screen. Where was he when Oswald was around, a grassy knoll perhaps?” At the time Trump would’ve been 23 years old, certainly old enough to buy a gun in Texas.

National Press All in for Hillary

The suddenly righteous outrage of the media propagandists, especially a video by the New York Times that could be taken as a campaign blitz FOR Donald Trump. Who wouldn’t want to have Russia on our side for a change? They would be a better friend than an enemy. Wouldn’t it be great to put 60 years of distrust and counteractions behind us? Haven’t we seen this take place between Ireland and Great Britain? I never thought I’d live to see the day when Ireland and Britain sat down and made a deal over Northern Ireland. It’s not the best but it brought peace to the region. And peace lays the groundwork for prosperity and an elevated quality of life. There are a lot of people in the U.S. who hold how Vladimir Putin is running Russia in higher regard than how they view Obama running this country. That’s a strange thing.

Granted, there is a lot of bad history on both sides of the aisle but with the right people in charge for a change, it could happen. Previous U.S. governments felt that the adversarial roll served their ability to hold power but it has taken a man like Donald Trump to view such ideology from a different angle. Why not be more open with another world power?   

But alas, no one president could right our trust issues even in two terms.

Keeping the Cold War Alive

Many presidents in the recent past have used this Us vs. Them dynamic with Russia to help keep themselves in power. It served them better that Russia was the enemy. But now the United States has NO SHORTAGE of enemies and what we really could use are friends. Reviving and keeping the Cold War alive no longer serves us and our nation’s leaders should find some other value to hold power with. How about benevolence for a change? How about a fucking tax cut?

Obama’s Chinese Connection

During his last two presidential runs, Barack Obama had taken money, a lot of money, from government money men in China but that certainly got little play in the Government Press. This money was very influential. And what did they get in return? Any kind of recent trade deals come to mind? Mr. Obama doesn’t really talk much about this for obvious reasons.

Hillary Grasping at Straws

By alienating Bernie Sanders supporters and being unable to find, never mind fire up, her own voter base, the Clinton campaign is resorting to throwing bigger and bigger accusations up against the wall of public opinion with more frequency and larger failures. Would a thinking person understand that Trumps so called “Fear Mongering “ of illegal immigrants and ISIL at our doorstep is any different than the Democrats using Russia and Vladimir Putin as a Boogie Man?

Or that Trump openly asking Russia to release Hillary’s emails that she deleted even though she was under a court order not to do so is a bigger worry than the fact she deleted said emails and maintained an a private email server for government correspondence that was hacked in the first place? And if, like we were originally told, there was nothing in those thousands of deleted emails, then why would it matter, if Russia indeed had them, if they were released.

Right now the Political Left and their media enablers will say anything and do anything to hold onto power, the power they can’t hold if the American People aren’t on board with come election time. All information is suspect and if you are a Trump supporter, you already know this.

The Real Truth

In our Shoot-the-Messenger world, the real heroes are the people who risk their future, their fortune and their very necks to brink the public this information. Imagine how stupid and uniformed were were about the level and nature of the NSA spying on all Americans without a warrant like the law stipulates. The not so distant past seems like another world to us now. 

But it took people like Julien Assange, Eric Snowden and that poor devil Bradley Manning who battled their consciouses, their upbringing and their nations to bring out the truth to the world. It invites a comparison of Prometheus bringing light to mankind. Now enlightened, what do we do with this information? 

It's time to make an informed choice. 

Sanders Sells His Soul

He should have been the Democratic Nominee. And he would have been the nominee had the Democratic National Committee not secretly colluded with the Hillary Clinton Campaign to freeze him out of the race.

Votes were stolen. Support was not supplied and super delegates were appointed to stand against him. All of the time, effort, work and MONEY that went into the Bernie Sanders for President campaign was in the end just a Dog and Pony Show for the RUBES. 

It's not like Hillary was somehow surprised this was going on. She was in on the whole con. It was she who was driving the bus when it ran over the Sander's campaign and don't let anybody kid you. The DNC dances to Hillary's tune and not the other way around. 

Still, Sanders had a chance. His message was being heard, his vigor was infectious and his campaign proved popular. I believe he got most of the votes but we'll never know because his weren't counted. Bernie Sanders had his nomination literally taken, stolen from him and his substantial voter base.

Julian Assange really only confirmed what we already knew: That the Democratic Establishment conspired with the Clinton Campaign to deliver Hillary the nomination as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States. 

How historic was this challenge? In many ways it did make history. Hillary’s campaign will go down in U.S history as the most underhanded demonstration of campaign skulduggery in the modern era. 

That we know of.

Fairness, Fairness, Fairness…

After all this, one can better appreciate the theme of this year’s Democratic National Convention. It’s all about fairness, unity and establishing a level playing field for the American citizen. The Democratic candidate will seek to promote fairness and transparency at every level of government.

All put forth without a hint of irony or even a facial tick.

Sander’s Supporters just Bad Sports

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz addressed the crowd at the opening of the convention with these inspiring words for the disgruntled Sanders delegates:

“Come now people, you’re just being ridiculous. You are just uninformed about how the game is played. This is national politics and we can’t have a guy like Sanders win the Democratic Nomination, can’t you see? Listen, we had a process and fair or unfair you lost so suck it up and vote for Hillary. What? You mean you all thought you were part of a national movement? You’re kidding, right? You people are more naive than we thought. You all fucked up, you trusted us! You thought we would treat each candidate fairly and without preference. Well it doesn’t work that way so grow up and meet the real world!”

“Oops, gotta go!”

And with that, she was gone.

Everything Free in America!

But Bernie’s legacy will live on in the Democratic Party Platform:

• Free College Tuition: But no jobs to go to. And since we all know how highly people regard free things, the value of a public college education won’t be much if this should happen.

• Raise the National Minimum Wage: No jobs will come of this either. If you can’t pay $10.00 an hour you’re not going to be able to pay $15.00. Not for a crumby job only worth $7.50.

• Renegotiate College Debt: This is good because this actually hits a government program up to renegotiate the bad-deal loans they have been handing out to anyone who applies since they took over the student loan program. So essentially it will be the government cutting the money it will receive. Odds of that happening: Zero.

• Universal Child Care: Everybody’s kid gets to go to a daycare facility free!  This idea has also been flown as Universal Kindergarten. Just another government program for another government paycheck for another class of government employees. Oh, and who is going to pay for that? Answer: You.

• Paid Family Leave: More holidays for American workers paid for by, ultimately, the American worker! It can't get any better than that!

Bernie Endorses Hillary!

I checked the temperature in Hell this morning when I woke up and it was 20 degrees F! It surely was a cold day in Hell as Bernie stood up and told his die-hard supporters that HILLARY CLINTON was the best person for the job of President of the United States! 

Did they believe it? Hell NO! 

Did Bernie believe it? Hell NO!

Does ANYBODY believe it?

HELL NO!

So in the end Bernie sells out on the floor of the Democratic Convention in order to get his agenda adopted as part of the party platform.

But nobody is buying it.

Hillary Picks Crazy-Looking Fat White Guy for Vice President

Can they take a picture of this guy that doesn’t make him look demented? Is such a thing possible? I just get a weird vibe off of the visuals of this guy since before this I’ve never laid eyes on Tim Kaine before. Now that I have, I’m not so sure of what I’m seeing. He reminds me of the uncle in the family you didn’t leave the kids alone with.

Again, the Sanders supporters just have to grin and bear it, right? Hillary is the nominee and that’s just the way it is, ok?

National Public Radio is on board. CNN is on board. The DNC is on board too.

So shut up and sit down!

Sanders Endorsement of Clinton Rings Hollow

No one believed it when President Obama recently endorsed Hillary Clinton and said that she is the best candidate for the office that there is.

And nobody is going to believe it if Bernie Sanders can choke out the same line.

Bernie Sanders endorsing Hillary Clinton for President of the United States would need a great moment in acting to pull off since knowing what we all know and the slow burn that Sander’s supporters are going through right now after having been jobbed by the Democratic National Committee just before the polls opened for the California Democratic Primary. And it wasn’t the first time they got screwed by the “Creative Democracy” that the Democrats practice.

We all know that the DNC had picked Hillary Clinton as the nominee right from the start and did everything they could to derail the campaign of Bernie Sanders.

How can anyone believe that Sanders would truly and sincerely endorse Clinton and validate everything they did to him? It makes no sense.

There certainly isn’t much democracy going on in the DNC these days and Sander’s campaign exposed the rigging, the behind –the-scenes skullduggery and the outright rigging of the vote to favor Hillary. For Bernie to stand there and say “I want Hillary Clinton for President” will be the ultimate humiliation. Will he do it? How will he handle it? How will his staunch supporters handle it?

Good question.

I don’t believe Hillary did win the popular vote amongst Democratic Primary Voters. But how are we ever going to know? All we have is what the Dems have told us. Now shut up and sit down!

In the long run this treatment of Sanders will haunt Hillary. Never a good candidate to begin with since even the people who are going to vote for her don’t believe she is capable of doing anything but keeping the money flowing their way for as long as it’s going to last. And that isn’t saying much.

Nobody believes Hillary Clinton can restore prosperity and tranquility domestically and regain respect and integrity globally. Who has heard that plan? There isn’t one. With a Hillary regime there will only be the Status Quo for the preciously short time that is going to do any good. No no, a Hillary presidency is going to be a disaster.

We might not get much better under the circumstances from Trump but at least we may have a chance.  Donald Trump is a man of bold ideas and he will have his chance to put them out on the big stage for the citizens of this country to weigh.

And that chance to compare his own big ideas was taken away from Bernie Sanders.  Not by the popular vote but by the DNC powers that be that had already decided who their candidate was long ago. The Sanders campaign, all that energy, all that optimism and all that time and money was all a charade. It was never going to happen. It was all a waste of time and effort, shoveling shit against a rigged system help bent on Hillary Clinton despite her vast problems, baggage and weaknesses.

It should have been Bernie Sanders grasping for that brass ring instead of the conniving, devious and distrustful Hillary Clinton. What did she ever do to deserve the nomination? What, did she ever accomplish in politics that had any impact on anything? All she's managed to do is steal an election. 

So does anybody think that Sanders supporters are just going to forget this?

Don’t think so. 

Gay Community Should Arm Itself

When seconds count, the police are minutes away.

And President Obama anxiously awaits his next anti-gun press conference.

So rather than being a government propaganda tool as a dead person, it would be ok to choose to learn how to defend yourself and avoid the whole political tussle.

When you are a target, and gays have been targets from the beginning of the age of Christianity, then perhaps you would take an interest and responsibility for your own protection because, let’s face it, nobody is in a better position to do it than yourself.

More women are arming themselves than ever before and successfully defending themselves too. Although as a general rule the National Press tend to suppress news of people successfully fighting off attackers and robbers. They wouldn’t want people getting “ideas” that they could actually stop crime when it happens to them.

If someone in the club had a gun on them beside the detailed police officer, who was not enough, then they could have popped this guy Mateen. Preferably, when his back was turned.  It has happened where someone in an establishment under attack had shot the attacker. In fact, this has happened many, many times.

If we were talking about a segment of society that made up 50% percent of the population then we wouldn’t be talking about gays being shunned and attacked as often since only minority populations are targets of discrimination and prejudice. Gays are a minority population and despite the laws passed to protect their rights and freedoms they are still subject to ridicules and violence not experienced by most straight people. 

Turning our attention to the shooter, Omar Mateen, a 1^st generation American citizen as well as a radicalized Muslim terrorist, his father made a totally bullshit statement about the shooting not being “about religion” since his poor unfortunate son witnessed two men kissing in public and THIS is what drove him to shoot up the gay nightclub. I’m glad he took the time to straightened that out.

Most people aren’t driven to kill upon witnessing such things but the most likely characteristics of those who do seem to be Muslim. The Muslims are attacking people in Europe. Attacking women in Brussels and Munich, attacking women without headscarves in their own country and attacking non-Muslim people everywhere. Muslims are throwing gay people and people just plain suspected of being gay, off of two story buildings with their hands tied behind their backs in Libya, Iran and Pakistan. Gays are being hung in Saudi Arabia. Everywhere in Muslim countries gays are being HUNTED and KILLED.

But this shooting in an Orlando gay club, it’s not about religion. It’s just about killing gay people.

That’s all. We should just understand this. 

To clarify a major misconception concerning so called “Assault Rifles”. These are just semi-automatic rifles, a rifle that resets the trigger using a “blow-back” system that was first invented before the Civil War. Today it is a very common device that is in almost every firearm made and legal in every state. To think that these are going to go away regardless of what the Obama regime attempts is naive at best. Whether the gun is displayed in a classic wooden stock or in a rather fierce looking black polymer encasement, it is still the same weapon. Under the Clinton syndicate's Assault Rifle ban back in 1994, the oft-demonized Colt AR-15, with it's lightweight polymer stock and sleek black design was branded an assault weapon while it's wooden-clad competitor, the Ruger Mini-14, was not. Of course the sale of the AR-15s really took off because of the ban and it remains the country's most popular rifle.  

When the government media speaks of "Automatic" weapons, they are actually referring to these semi-automatic weapons to purposely mislead the uniformed. Automatic weapons can only legally be possessed by law enforcement and military personnel. Civilians cannot have them legally.

If these guns or even ALL guns were banned in the United States, then they will just come into the country from someplace else. Our borders are unsecured, remember? The same inaction by our present government that allows illegal aliens to enter also allows goods and materials not allowed in this country to come in also. China and Russia among other armament manufacturing countries will find a ready market for their guns here in the U.S.  If we can’t keep drugs out of the country to the point where we are legalizing them, what makes any thinking person think that we can keep guns out?

So the message should be clear: Protect yourselves at all times.If you won't do it, who will?

Sanders More Important than Clinton in 2016 Election

Despite the charade by the national media and the “looking ahead to Trump” posturing by his Washington Insider opponent, Bernie Sanders may yet be able to wrest the Democratic Presidential Nomination from a faltering and lackluster Hillary Clinton.

With landslide wins in New Hampshire and Vermont, wins in Minnesota, Oklahoma and Colorado and a very close near win in Massachusetts, Senator Bernie Sanders has already demonstrated that his message carries across the nation.

With more primary victories on the horizon, the Vermont senator is underscoring the profound weakness of Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate.

The South notwithstanding, Sanders popularity and that of Donald Trump, sends the message that people are tired of establishment candidates trotting out the same old populist bullshit with the result that nothing ever changes for them. The poor stay poor and the rich stay rich.

This is a cycle voters appear to want to break and whether it means a break to the Left or a break to the Right, they still are voting in large numbers to break away from the same old establishment candidate.

Trouble for Hillary

Despite all the big talk about her dominance on Super Tuesday, Clinton still did not win nearly what she and her media enablers thought she would. All the messages Hillary has tried to float have not served her well. All her votes are based on her past, not her future. Nostalgia is a poor running mate!

The Importance of Bernie

Nothing of what Hillary is saying breaks any new ground. Hers is the message of the something for everyone variety. A Hillary speech is more like things you say when you are running for President with an expectation that you just do it and get it over with and nobody really believes it or believes in it and it shows. 

Now compare that to the message that Senator Sanders is engendering. Sanders campaign is energetic, enthusiastic, certainly idealistic and is attracting new ears young and old who do believe in what he is saying whole heartedly. Talk with the people of Vermont and they all say that Mr. Sanders hasn't changed his message from the very beginning and that he has seldom failed to deliver on his promises. Love the message, hate the message, there is an energy there that brings weight to his convictions. 

It is my profound wish that Bernie Sanders succeeds in his efforts to become the Democratic Nominee and gain the grand stage to put forth in the worlds ultimate arena of ideas his argument for why he and his plan is the best for the American people. Because if that should happen, can you imagine for a moment what these debates will be like? 

They will only be the ultimate education for everyone in the entire world lucky enough to be able to tune in.

The absolute most Socialist candidate the nation has produced since the 1920s. Bernie Sanders, who is the second coming of Eugene V. Debs will take the stage to debate one of the country’s most successful Capitalist entrepreneurs to have ever run for the office of the presidency, Donald Trump!

One man, with the message that only through Government can the nation become a safer, more secure and prosperous place for the individual versu the other man who exposes less government intrusion, more self-reliance and self-determination as the way to prosperity for the nation and its people.

This would be just brilliant!

It’s the message of a free lunch versus you just can’t get it for free!

In Bernie Sanders’ world it is Government that creates jobs, housing and funds for the “downtrodden” who have failed through no fault of their own but for a system that is stacked against them. Bernie’s government will rectify the inequality of their situations and punish those who are guilty.

In Donald Trump’s world, it is not government that creates jobs but the individual with the better idea. Success isn’t a crime nor is it derived through anything but hard work and risk. You take the risk and you either fail or reap the rewards of your efforts. You have a right to your success, government does not.

These debates would be something ALL of America and really the whole world should hear, especially our youth.

This is why Bernie Sanders is an important figure at this time in history where we find the United States deeply divided and groping in the lack of clarifying light to find a path to take that will bring back the prosperity that it has lacked for the last decade and to bring renewed opportunity to the nation's underutilized youth.

These are the two messages that resonate across the country right now. They are compelling, they are vibrant and they are well presented by people who are absolutely resolute in their belief in them.

This could be the greatest political confrontation we could ever hope to see in our life-times.

And the last person we need there is Hillary Clinton. 

Castro's Revolution a Failure

The largest export of Cuba is Cubans. 

This has been the end result of the glorious Communist vision of Fidel Castro. The people who are left on the island are glad to see the others go not because they view them as traitors to the Revolution but that by leaving their backward, impoverished island nation they know there will be fewer people to compete for the limited resources they need to sustain themselves.

After all this time, the only thing Fidel Castro and his Revolutionaries have to trumpet about is the glories of an empty island in the sun that doesn’t look like it’s progressed a day beyond that first day of January 1959 when Castro and his merry band of brothers road into Havana and time, for the Cuban people at least, stopped.

Yes, the Cuban revolution managed to throw out American business interests. And THEN what happened? Nothing! Such is the extent of the success of the revolution.Oh, they tried to get Russia interested in a missile base and they managed to train some decent boxers but that's about it. 

Although it hasn't been good to anyone else in particular, the revolution has been good to the Castro brothers, Fidel and Raul. They get to rule over a fiefdom that never ever actually accomplished anything but throw out the American Capitalists. For the time being anyway. And then there is that thing about the mass exodus of it's people from the workers paradise.  

Never having anything to offer people born with ambition, for we are all born with ambition, the hardly educated Castro just let them go so he could go on being the Dictator rather than actually attempt to build a culture, educate the people, build a shining city or even a road for that matter. 

After all, being King was all he was ever good at. A fighter can lead a revolt but they can never lead a peace. Mao couldn’t do it, Stalin couldn’t do it and although Castro’s death counts hasn’t noticeably come near that of those two, he has killed his share. He knows no other way to hold onto power. A killer can never be anything else.

But soon El Captain will shed his mortal coil and although Raul, part of the Communist youth movement at a spry 85 years old and the rest of the now geriatric placeholders will try to keep Castro’s “Vision” alive, not knowing what that ever was and the hands of time will once again hand over Cuba to people who actually want a quality life and who want to own stuff.

And to think that there are people, mostly privileged people who have been allowed to travel to Cuba despite the U.S. ban, who think opening up the country to trade will somehow RUIN the country and its people. Can you believe it? How backward can you get? They are already ruined, now they must be resurrected. 

How would YOU like to live everyday like its 1959? And I’m not talking about Soc Hops, souped up hot rods, chics in poodle skirts and Buddy Holly on the jukebox at the soda shop kind of 1959. No no, Cuba today is the 1959 where X-Rays were just coming into fashion, a time where there was no such thing as a pacemaker, high blood pressure medicine, blood thinners or coronary bypass surgery. All gasoline sold had LEAD as an octane boosting additive, automobiles didn't have either seat belts or head rests never mind airbags and "Smoking isn't bad for you at all." said your doctor while puffing on an unfiltered Camel cigarette in the examination room! 

Some phones still had a crank on them and "party lines", where the whole community was on the same phone line, still were prevalent outside of the big cities IF the phone company decided to run a wire to your town at all. Most of the TVs were still black & white and there actually WERE roads like Mayberry RFD (for Rural Farm Drive) and nothing was open on Sunday EVER. Plus you could go to jail for a year for possession of one joint in many states. Yes, THAT 1959. 

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t know what you were missing but guess what? You DO know what you’re missing. And so do the Cuban people. People are people everywhere in that they want to enjoy the fruits of their own labor and to provide for their families. They want a goal to work towards and to achieve things in their working lives. They may not all get to where they want to go but it’s in the chance to achieve these things that the Castro Regime has kept from them. Look at the way Castro’s “Children of the Revolution” are living. Then look at the masses that have risked everything to get the hell out of there. Let’s face it, it is a total act of desperation to get on an old car tire inner tube and try to paddle your ass to Florida. But that’s just what these people are doing.There are many Cubans on the bottom of the Florida Straits. 

Castro won the revolution alright but he will leave his nation worse off than when he “saved” it and in reality he didn't save it from anybody, he only saved it for himself. Cuba is a land that time has left behind and like North Korea, will have a huge learning curve when civilization finally catches up to them. And it will. It always does.

Now in his twilight, we can look at Castro's reign over Cuba with clarity and so with clarity can declare that he has failed Cuba. Castro failed Cuba and its long suffering people with his selfish small thinking. He never had a plan after victory. He never accomplished a thing beyond the revolution. A revolution he relived in his mind everyday and never stopped talking about. But what he always spoke so fervently about was in the past. And now it's the distant past. 

Castro never took a step beyond that one victory, 57 years ago, to develop a country that could exemplify that his way was the better way. He could never show that to the world because he couldn't do it. In this Castro failed like the other despots before him who espoused a Communist ideal that they could never conjure and despite all his grand talk of freedom for the working people, he was just another short-sighted man who could only lead with a gun. 

The sooner history forgets him, the better.
